Traded Ollie Henry - Traded to Geelong as part of a reported 3-way deal (details tbc)

[Art Vandelay_]

So take it the Pies haven’t reached the acceptance stage yet and rolled over for their belly rub. The time will come later today then.

How dare you be negative about Jesus aka Mackattack

Its more about how dare you misinform with your post? Geelong cant trade the future first rounder like he implies cos we used a future third rounder to get pick 7 and bowes. Or do you think the henry trade was more valuable to geelong then bowes and pick 7 combined and should of been given precedent?

You’re a tool mate.

We were giving a future pick to GC, so by AFL rules, could not trade our FR1.

Plus we need that to pay unders for someone next year.

I know that, it’s just convenient that you have to keep your future first because you HAD to give up a future 3rd for ridiculous value…

 

[Hamingja]

Geelong’s trade period made so much sense at the start, 1 first and 1 future first for Henry and bruhn. Both players worth it, both players tapped up and keen to get there. Should have been done easy in the first few days.

The trade period still makes a lot of sense from a Geelong POV. They get everyone they want and keep a first round pick this year and next year. What more can you want.

 

[Stokey]

Geelong want to keep Esava and he contracted but are still negotiating with Port to see if an equitable trade can be done for the player who wants out.

Compare this to the childish behaviour of Collingwood who have taken their bat and ball on gone home.

Yeah, sorry about that man.

Pretty convenient that JHF had to get home to SA but only Port, huh?

Lol at childish behaviour. It was your grubby football department who is trying to shaft us by precluding yourselves from trading future picks. It takes two to tango in this childish dance, and Mackie is the leading hand.

We're just copying the playbook your lot wrote with Kelly.

No thats Ollie our price remains.

Mate I drive from Geelong to Melbourne every work day.

Outside of peak times it’s fairly easily under an hours drive to the CBD.

who gets to drive out of peak times? Everyone drives during peak times. Thats why its peak times. Plus both the mcg and kardinia peak are on the opposite side of the city from each other. half the time is just going through the city to get to the grounds.

ps. Studies have found that one of the biggest indicators of happiness is low commute times. Even an extra 20 mins a day is a pain in the arse.

Lift that trade embargo and let the boy come home. Enough is enough - this will be an almighty feather in Mackattack's cap.

what's childish about wanting a first rounder, which was clear to Geelong from the beginning?
If Geelong don't rate him as a first rounder they're entitled to their views. But just because Collingwood don't agree with that opinion doesn't mean it's childish.
Sounds like your accusation is more of a confession

We're just going by your playbook. You just got rid of an AA contracted ruckmen for pick 27 but you don't think 25 is enough for an uncontracted player who played out the season in the VFL.

Spare me.

A second future third rounder would have been very easy to get your hands on to make that trade happen if you had any intention of offering a trade of fair value for Henry though.

if he really wanted to stay closer to home, Henry should've just played in the GDFL

we traded kelly when he was uncontracted. Didnt drag it out to the end of trade week either. This is in a year he nearly won the brownlow. Henry isnt even in your starting side.

If you can't comprehend things like salary, injury, age and form playing a part in asset value, then you're beyond help I'm afraid :/

 

[Collingwoodity]

Ollie Henry so wants to go to Geelong, the team that steadfastly refuses to value him higher than pick 25.

Or he could play for geelong.

Kelly wasn't in yours when he was 19. Just saying..

different circumstances. Grundy is 29, Henry has his career ahead of him
Grundy is effectively a salary dump. Henry isn't.
Try again

he shouldn't have nominated for the national draft then

By all reports you only value a 29 year old brownlow medalist who averaged nearly 30 touches a game this year at only pick 27.

LOL.

Guess he's not worth anything then. What a silly comment

No, that's how much Hawthorn value him
